On Feb.14th, valentine day, former President Rawlings lost his residence to fire outbreak, the source which is yet to be determined. In the early hours of that Valentine day, it was raining so the fire could have been started by lightening striking the house , but since the People who lived in this house are very important and controversial, speculation is rife as to what really happened.

Some of the speculations going round are, the fire might have been started by Rawlings political opponents, especially the members of the opposition NPP, Rawlings enemies within the NDC who are not too enthused about his constant name calling of the sitting President, Mr Mills. This coming immediately after Rawlings referred to President Mills as "who born dog", "Atta the mortuary man" Mills and using deragatory names to refer to his administration, it's possible a Mills admirer could have done this. Could it be Alhaji Bature's curse or 'Antoa Nsuo Nyamah' getting revenge on Rawlings ?People, Bature's curse and 'Antoa Nsuo Nyamaa' adventure is to vivify this article.

I have my own theory as what really did happen and this is just an opinion which I am entitled to. What was former President Rawlings doing at his mansion at Vume in Volta Region on a day lovers, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends are supposed to be together? Couldn't he and his lovely wife, Yaa beauty have gone to Vume together and innoculate the children against whatever diseaqse 'Dr Rawlings' was innoculating the children against? Was Yaa beauty angry at her husband in leaving her alone in that mansion to spend valentine day alone while 'Dr Rawlings' was doing extra-curricular activities in Vume instead of doing his husbandry duties at the Ridge residence?

The fire was supposed to have started around 3:00AM when most People would be soundly asleep especially on a rainy early morning like this but thank God everybody in that house got away without any injuries or anybody losing their life. One thing is for sure, according to an eyewitness account, Rawlings bulletproof cars were busily being moved away when the Police and the fire service arrived, what else was moved before this suspicious fire started? Yaa Beauty was miffed because she suspected his 'elevator Eye' husband of shacking up with a young beauty at Vume while she was left to take care of the Rawlings dogs and babysit beautiful Yaa Asantewah while Papa Jerry was humping away at his mansion in Vume.

As a woman scorned on this very important day for lovers, Yaa Beauty decided to do something drastic to get 'Dr Rawlings' back to her arms and nothing was going to stand in her way. Yaa Beauty achieved her heart desire and "Dr Rawlings" after hearing about his house on fire was back to Yaa Beauty's arms within two hours and VALENTINE DAY SAVED in the Rawlings household.

Am I happy 'Dr Rawlings' lost his house and possessions? Not at all but if anybody in Ghana can come out of this devastating loss and still endure, Dr Rawlings with his bevy of rich friends and politically connected to the present administration can survive this loss. He already have houses in Vume, East Legon, Tema, the mansion he built for his mother and another house at Akosombo, Papa Jerry would be fine. Already the government is busy looking for a 'proper' accomodation for this Panjandrum and I would not be surprised if he is not already ensconced at the SWISS house.
